Benjamin, speaking of his doll: Baby Rex is a Super Diaper Baby.
Me: Well, then what are you?
Benjamin: (before I could blink) A Super Underwear Kid.
And that settles it.

While re-hanging pictures on the kitchen wall following our first marathon painting night, I dropped one of them.
Startled, Shannon yelled, “Oh, mother –” and then stopped herself short of saying anything entirely inappropriate in front of Benjamin.
“Mommy, why did you call Daddy ‘Mother?’” Benjamin asked.
Reasonable question.
Because Daddy will be the mother of the NEW picture we buy to replace that one! *LOL*
We need pictures of the new paint job Mark….
I’ll not ask what Ben’s super powers are. I would, however, be interested in Shannon’s answer to that very reasonable question.
Congrats on the mission completion in the living room. Can’t wait to see the results.
“… Hubbard,” right? That’s how Shan was going to finish off that sentence?
Yes… yes I’m sure that’s it.
I related this story to Moonshot who immediatley suggested that Shannon was obviously calling out to her own mother because the loud noise had scared her.
That goes along with my temper when I am playing tennis and the use of the popular ELF phrase…”SON OF A NUTCRACKER!” That little yellow ball brings out the worst in me…I become a different person!
Way to go Shannon…for knowing when to quit speaking! That is so hard for me!
